I’m kind of disappointed with the F1 in this game and I really hope PD focuses more on it. They really should take a lot from F1 2012 and CM seeing as that game simulates F1 better. F1 2012 has arguably better physics than GT5 in terms of F1.

Must admit that I’m enjoying this set of events but just cannot get gold for the muscle car drift. I’m only 75 points away from gold. Loving the rally car drift. Using a Delta Integrale for that.

Oct. 7, 1:33pm

Pit Crew

Yeah Section 1gave me fits. In all truthfulness I lucked out and got 2000 plus point drift in that curve which helped put me over the top because others i was averaging 3800 to 4200 points or so. Good Luck :tup

Hahaha, because Spa is better and they just used Suzuka and Spa is special because it’s a DLC track

Oct. 6, 11:50am

BlindZenDriver

I agree – it would be fitting with the F1 circus being there this weekend.

But no biggie I think. Both tracks are great and letting those that haven’t bought Spa race it is both a treat and good marketing.

Only if codemasters and pd could join together…. No, actually if codemasters made somthing along the lines as this (which really isn’t a sim,it’s a generic product meant to introduce people to the driving world…) to where you can pick thousands of cars other than a skyline or gt-r, then that would be the best game in the world, their physics engine is amazing in f1 2012

And I also reccomend for those whining about a new DLC or GT6 to come out.. Go out and get F1 2012, as codemasters releases one every year at the end of summer, so you won’t have to wait a whole year for the first DLC as we had to do with this…. Besides, no body knows about codemasters because their community isn’t centered in one country… So you do get to play with a lot of foreigners that almost all speak English… (Except the brazilians.. They don’t have mics)

Please people, chose something rather than nagging..

Hey, I`m brazilian and I got a headset with mic too. Lol.
Have to agree, and it`s good for you guys, not everybody knows how to speak english very well. Neither do I lol.
But I still have hope that PD will make e really good job with a new gt series, cause gt 5 is g try getting behind other racing games.
By the way, I`m stuck with this time trial for gt f formula

Oct. 5, 8:54am

BWX

CM- rrr… bugmasters have a lot of work to do too. F1 2012 is good though, even with all the bugs, but PD could learn a lot from CM about ai, and a race simulation in general.

Oct. 5, 5:49pm

MeanElf

Sorry Swagger – I really like Codemasters…but a sim? Those guys have been going steadily more arcade-wards for the past three or so years. I tried the demo for F1 2012 but wasn’t that impressed overall.

Also I don’t get why PD should join up with CM – CM is owned by a majority shareholder that have forced the decisions away from sim gaming. DiRT 2 was great, from then onwards when the shareholders took over the games have gone steadily ‘casual-gamer friendly’. Nevertheless I still love the DiRT series but I’d hate for PD and CM to get together. Milestone/Black Bean would be a better choice, if only for the rally part.

And truthfully, have you read any posts on this site? PD’s community is not based in one country either…

Just…sheesh…

Oct. 9, 2:55am

TwistedMerc

It’s not exactly right to call F1 2012 “Arcade” since they both fit in the same category. They’re both “Arcade sims” but both have a bit more emphasis on the “sim” than the “Arcade”.

Believe it or not F1 2012 is more realistic than GT5 in terms of F1. The F1 in GT5 is more of a stripped version than that of F1 2012’s.

Oct. 5, 3:55am

Zuel

The reason why some of you are find GT5 boring is due to the same old thing. I don’t mean to sound a dead drum but you may want to replace your whole garage or lose the cars that have been tuned to a stage 3 motor. If some of you haven’t noticed the PP, and the tuning performance (Adding parts to the motor = tuning, not the body or chassis) have changed. A lot of cars are just junked if build to a stage3 motor now since the update, mainly the 2.06 and 2.08 updates.

Oct. 5, 4:12am

JsZico

I think you get the most fun out of gt by driving all cars standard. You get the feeling how individual cars handle and the enginesound is awesome, you just have to rev up the volume :-)

Oct. 5, 1:06pm

WTFnews

@ JsZico you are 100% correct i love to drive my stock ferrari or RUF, and i think the Lambo Gallardo has the most acurate sound in the whole game, if you put a race exaust on a car you just ruin it, even tough the RUF CTR2 has a race exaust stock it still sounds AMAZING!!! guys we should only play this game for the awsome feeling and the stock sounds and the amazing graphics.

sry for bad english

Oct. 8, 11:49am

skyrunr10k

First of all, sorry for going off topic from the F1 seasonal; but I completely agree with WTF and JsZico regarding the “over tuning” issue. It just isn’t much fun to watch someone with a perfect tune (and an under rated pp car) go out and hot lap. I’ve been that person a few times and don’t enjoy those races half as much as finishing last in a good shuffle battle.

THE FIX: A filter for online rooms that don’t allow tuning along with a street/race-concept filter. When joining these rooms your car would be set to stock automatically without going into your garage and giving up a tuning preset. It still baffles me as to why they don’t have a PP filter for online rooms.

GT5 is a great game but it hasn’t been implemented very well. There should be integrated online racing leagues. Something along the lines of A-Spec seasonal events but with real opponents!

Oct. 8, 2:11pm

Pit Crew

This is why I have multiple models in my garage. Full tune, Drift tune, Wheelie Tune (Sheby Cobra TVR Tamora Post 2.00 update) Full stock, Time Trial, and 0/0/0. Also I create courses with variable difficulties including weather, to keep my technique tight for any upcoming TTs or League Races. Tuning is an integral part of GT5 and shouldnt be a point of contention, more like a part of the Learning Curve.

Dont over tune your cars with Stage 3 weight Engine Mods, parts that are permanent, but using the non permanent tuning parts is cool since you can keep 1 of the settings sheet pre sets completely stock.

Follow the rabbit ai with rolling roadblocks or driving in circles by yourself.. GT5 seasonals totally freaking suck. What ever happened to GT4 type a-spec? Is this what Gran Turismo is reduced to? Take away standing starts with ai that at least TRY, take away good career mode, and this boring garbage is what you end up with. Good job Kaz, good job.

Oct. 4, 6:07pm

TokoTurismo

Well. I actually agree with @BWX about the stupid chase the rabbit and rolling starts CRAP! Honestly. Why can’t they just do what we want them to make, such as events? Where the hell is *Boxer Spirit? PD is just reusing the same events they took away from us for who knows what reason.

Driving in circles alone is all I ever do on the game anyway, but, BWX has got a point.

So stop playing it, stop posting here and move on. Life’s too short to have rage at some electrons floating around. Have a beer/soda, go sit in the sun and wonder why you’re ranting about $100 of spend some years ago.

Neilson248

GT5 is the best gt yet… I have never enjoyed any gt ge like this and I have tried them all… Thank God for online racing and the amazing physics, beautiful graphics, changeable time and weather etc… Love GT5… Only losers complain about the best game in the world

It’s not the best game at all, I’ve recently switched to F1 2012 and whilst the physics and general feel is no where near that of GT5 the AI is amazing. If GT5 could match it then the overall experience would be much, much better. As it stands it’s quite boring to play offline. On another note I can’t understand why whenever someone makes a genuine complaint about the game some people just can’t handle it and kick off.

Oct. 5, 12:44am

Pit Crew

Neilson, even Kaz doesn’t like the way GT5 turned out lol, and you say we are losers for complaining? I would say we got enough heart to speak our mind, and enough sense to know we could get better events then recycled seasonal events, and OCDs filled with, for example, Kcar garbage every month.

Oct. 5, 8:47am

BWX

By the way I drink plenty of beer, get plenty sun, and no GT5 is not ”my life’ or some ridiculous BS like Andyc709292 is trying to imply. I’m a GT fan and thus care about how GT is doing. Right now GT needs a lot of help in a lot of ways. It is going backwards in many ways which sucks for true GT fans.

Oct. 5, 12:10pm

F12012 is truly a gash game, talk about unfinished lol and i love the comedy DRS physics and the fact u have to pause and save to change view and cant look behind u is highly amusing. But seeing as “the physics and general feel is no where near that of GT5” …..Im tempted

Oct. 5, 5:04pm

77 must be playing a pirate copy.. Those aren’t all even problems in the paid-for verion. I know, I bought F1 2012. Nice try, but you just exposed yourself for what you are. Go BUY the game, until then, don’t make yourself look so foolish by criticising a hack/torrent version of a game.

Marcs, the physics are better in F1 2012 compared to GT5 when it comes to F1. Overall, F1 2012 is more realistic in the physics and tire wear, fuel consumption, suspension, and pit strategy.

I’m not trying to bash on GT5 since it does a fine job with its physics, but no doubt does F1 2012 simulate F1 better in every aspect since, well that’s what F1 2012 is about.

Oct. 4, 2:13pm

Morgoth_666

I hate to break it to you, but the seasonal “races” aren’t any more actual races than the time trials are, they just have really annoying obstacles along the way. They also tend to take a whole lot longer to complete, since gold is usually very easy in TT’s, though I can’t comment on this one yet. The only things resembling “decent” races outside of online lobbies in GT5 don’t pay any credits at all, or take several hours to complete.
Hope you can read this without caps lock. Mine doesn’t seem to want to stay on.

Oct. 4, 12:14pm

DGXR

Yes this FGT seasonal is a little tough but I don’t think they should actually be easy, that would take the fun & challenge out of them. Myself, if I don’t gold a seasonal in 3-4 tries with different tunings & adjustments, I know that I’ve done my best and I accept whatever trophy and credits I’m given. If you want fast cash, assuming you have a Ferrari F2007, go to the Expert Level Ferrari Formula Seasonal and detune it to 390-400hp. You can make 2.7 million credits in 10 laps around Eifel (12 minutes). That’s well over 13 million credits per hour. Without a Ferrari F2007, there’s plenty of other races to grind for easy credits but this is the most lucrative one I’ve found.

Oct. 4, 11:16am

Sonygamer455

I kind of wish these time trials and drift trials could be easier because when i started the game, they were pretty easy. Now it’s getting to the point were i don’t even want to do them anymore. For anybody who wants easy cash, buy a Mclaren F1 GTR race car, Zonda LM Race Car or the Zonda R, then go to the B Spec race 3 at Suzuka. Make sure you are not challenging the Mclaren or the Zonda because they are very difficult beat. If you get them quit and go back into the race until you aren’t challenging them, once thats done, just race!:) With 200% you will make over a million credits in 20 minutes:)

Oct. 4, 12:03pm

KFM

Right now, if you’re looking for quick cash, just buy a Suzuki Cappuccino and race in the K-car seasonal event. Trial Mountain takes ~6 minutes and makes you over 500,000 if your car doesn’t have high PP.

Oct. 4, 8:29pm

smskeeter23

I still vote for the Daytona run on the musclecar seasonal. I’m making 940,000 every 5.5min

Oct. 8, 7:28pm

QuikSlvr223

I use my GT Academy R34 with about 440 PP in the 4WD Sarthe seasonal. You have to cheat to win, but wou get 950k with just 130%. Haven’t been able to get the percentage higher, but I just couldn’t believe how much 200% would get you.

I think the seasonals petting harder and harder.Perhaps they
will be equally impossible golding as vettel challenge if this trend
contuines.(im a dual shock user)
anyway i have no intention to spend hour after hour to win a race.
this is the first timetrial i dont care to gold the seasonal because i am not
a nerd or asperberger that can spent so much time playing this game.
hours after hours. thx,gt i will spend much less time to play this game
from now on.

Oct. 4, 8:04pm

Andyc709292

I’d agree.
I had a month off thanks to a broken hand and TV woes, and the seasonal events on return seem impossible. The Rome muscle car event just wasn’t possible (by me) without turning on the anti-spin. Once I had that on it was easy enough. I admit I’m not the same level as some here, but am a regular racer so expect to be reasonably proficient.
